Just My Imagination
G. C. Cameron Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I say to myself you're such a lucky guy,
To have a girl like her is truly a dream come true
out of all the fellows in the world she belongs to me.
But it was Just my imagination,
once again runnin' away with me.
It was just my imagination runnin' away with me. Oo
A cozy little home out in the country with two children maybe three.
I tell you I can visualize it all
this couldn't be a dream for too real it all seems;
But it was Just my imagination once again runnin' way with me.
Tell you it was just my imagination runnin' away with me.
Ev'ry night on my knees I pray Dear Lord, Hear my plea;
Don't ever let another take her love from me or I would surely die.
Her love is heavenly, when her arms enfold me,
I hear a tender rhapsody; but in reality she doesn't even know me.
Just my imagination once again runnin' way with me.
Tell you it was just my imagination runnin' away with me.
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, can't forget her
Just my imagination once again runnin' way with me.
Tell you it was just my imagination runnin' away with me.
In G.C. Cameron's song, "Just My Imagination," the singer describes his infatuation with a woman who passes by his window each day. He considers himself lucky to have her as she is the girl of his dreams, but acknowledges that it is all just in his imagination. He daydreams about their future together, getting married and starting a family in the countryside, but again realizes that it is only a figment of his imagination. Despite his prayers to the Lord to keep her love for himself, he knows that she doesn't even know who he is, and that it is all just a fantasy. The lyrics reveal a heartbreakingly unrequited love, highlighting the theme of longing and the power of our imaginations to shape our desires.
